During his lecture on Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Booth was talking about the cost
OF drinks. He stated what he could get
them for in the Colonies. but did not
know the price in Honolulu. He turned
round suddenly to the Rev. j. A. Cru
zan, who was on the platform, and asked
him how much it cost him for his
drinks. The Reverend gentleman was
speechless, but the audience roared with
laughter.

Making the monograph Practical.

An article will shortly appear in a lead
ing periodical giving particular account
of recent invention which will astonish
the public as much as did the working
telephone. This is a photograph. 1t
comes from the Bell labratory, though it
is the invention of Mr.. Sumner fainter
The fainter experiments have been in the
direction of more satisfactory receiver
That has been obtained finally by the use
of wax. An impression of sound waves is
secured by the new method, it is said,
with absolute accuracy. 1t will register
the voices of quartet of singers, so that
the same words and tones as spoken can
be reproduced, the baritone, soprano,
tenor, etc, just as originally produced,
save in lesser volume. The impression is so
distinct in the wax that a stereotype can
be taken from it and the sound be repro
duced a month or 100 years afterward.
The practical utility of the machine is
its use instead of an amanuensis. Letters
or speeches can be taken with the ma
done is to take it and set it a-gOing, regu-
lated so that the words can be written out.
This can be done at leisure, the writer
stopping, going back, or writing as fast or
as slowly as convenient An interview
can be taken with absolute correctness,
and preserved and written out at leisure,
the voices of the takers being clearly dis
tinguishable If such perfection as Ge-
scribed has been obtained, the value of
the invention can scarcely be Overesti-

WHAT MEN CALL "LUck."
The Ideas of Gamb1ers-The Various

The Ideas of GambIers-The Various
Glasses of SO-CalIed Lucky Men.
Let us consider the general idea which
most men have respecting what they call
luck We shall find that what they re-
gard as affording clear evidence that there
is such a thing as luck is in reality the re-
suit of law. Nay, they adopt such COM
binatiOn of ideas about events that seem
fOrtuitoTs that the kind of evidence they
obtain must have been obtained, let
events fall as they may. Let US consider
the ideas of men about luck in gambling,
as typifying in small the ideas of nearly all
men about luck in life
In the first place gamblers recognize
some men as always lucky. | do not
mean, of course, that they suppose men
always win, but that some men never
have spells of bad luck They are always
"in the vein," to use the phraseology OF
gamblers like Steinmetz and others, who
imagine they have reduced their wild and
wandering notions about luck into sci
ence. Next, gamblers recognize those
who start on a gambling career with
singular good luck, retaining that luck
long enough to trust in it confidently, and
then losing it once for all, remaining
thereafter constantly unlucky. Thirdly,
gamblers regard the great bulk OF their
community as men of varying luck
sometimes sin yein," sometimes not--men
who, if they are to be successful, must
according to the superstitions Of the gam
bling world, be most careful to watch the
progress of events.
These, according to Steinmstz, the great
authority on all such questions, probably
because of the earnestness of his belief in
gambling superStitions) may gamble or
not, according as they are ready or not to
obey the dictates of gambling prudence
When they are in the vein they should
gamble steadily on, but so soon as the
maturity of the chances" brings with it
change of luck they must withdraw. Ii
they will not do this they are likely to join
the crew of the unlucky. Fourthly, there
are those, according to the ideas of gam
blers, who are pursued by constant IL
luck. They are never ain the vein" If
they win during the first half of an even
ing they lose more during the latter half.
But usually they lose all the time.
Filthy, gamblers recognize a class who,
having begun unfortunately, have had It
change Of luck later and have become
members of the lucky fraternity This
change they usually ascribe to some &C
ton or event which, to the less brilliant
imaginations of outsiders, would seem to
have nothing whatever to do with the
gam bler's luck. For instance, the luck
changed when the man married, his wife
being a shreW; or because he took to wear
ing white MISUNDERSTANDING, in Long
mans Magazine.

Pawning Her Boys Clothes for Medicine.

been very i'll for several years, had expend-
ed all of her means to pay for medicine
At last the doctors gave him up and said
he must die. He suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the
Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence Of
the curative power of their Extract Of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothing to buy bottle OF
the remedy tSiegel's Syrup. but now she
feels proud that she did so, for it was the
means of curing her son. The Shakers say
this was the result of Indigestion and that
the msdicine cured the Dyspepsia. and that
the rheumatism was only symptom of the
real disease. For coughs the Shaker Tar
Capsules are strongly recommended.
